Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina (Pt), and stripe rust, caused by P.striiformis f.sp.tritici EAR TONE (Pst), are destructive foliar diseases of wheat worldwide.Breeding for disease resistance is the preferred strategy of managing both diseases.The continued emergence of new races of Pt and Pst requires a constant search for new sources of re
